Artist Statement
BEYOND THE BODY
Simon Bacon’s artistic journey has been one of constant evolution, reflecting a deep engagement with existential themes and the interplay of physical, psychological, and spiritual elements. Initially grounded in figurative work, Bacon’s practice began with an exploration of the human body, using the medium of bronze to investigate surface, form, and the fragility of existence. These works sought to express the tensions and harmonies of being in the world, addressing the intricate relationship between mind, body, and spirit.
Over time, Bacon’s process has shifted toward abstraction, moving beyond the representational figure to distil his ideas into elemental forms that express concepts of Shape, Space, Tension, and Flow. This transition marks a progression from depicting the external human form to embodying the internal dynamics of existence. His sculptures now focus on creating flowing, interconnected shapes defined by their juxtapositions—spirals and lines of tension extending beyond their forms, offering a sense of both containment and expansion.
This evolution is not a departure but a deepening of his practice. The figurative provided the foundation for understanding form and structure, while abstraction allows Bacon to delve into universal truths that transcend physical representation. By embracing this shift, his work continues to engage with the core existential ideas of fragility, harmony, and the quest for balance between anxiety and freedom, grounding the abstract in the same meditative and expressive act that has always defined his approach. Through this transition, Bacon invites the viewer to engage not only with the external forms but also with the invisible energies and forces that shape our shared experience of being.
My work is explored in this book by Prof. Christine Temple.
